It depends what is setting it off. If it is just a loose door latch, it is usually easy to fix. Lock the car and set the alarm. Pull on each door handle to see if a door switch opens and sets off the alarm. If it does, adjust the latch on the door to close the door more fully.
If it is not a door switch, maybe the inertia switch is too sensitive. Unless your model has an adjustable sensitivity, that problem is harder to solve.

Gregg, several things can cause a car alarm to go off. One of the most common reasons is the alarm switches which are mounted to doors. under hood, trunk. When these switches go bad OR get corroded from water, can cause the alarm to go off with just the blowing of the wind moving the car. Check this by pushing on each door and see if the alarm goes off. Also push downward on the hood and trunk. Even door adjustments can cause the issue, because if a door is not tight it can move and set the alarm off. One other thing is sensitivity, the alarm box can be going bad and the slightest movement of the vehicle can set it off.

Maybe your alarm is set to high and snow or bad winds will keep it on. So find out where is the Alarm box and see if there is a little switch on it that says LOW/ HIGH and try to lower the Sensitivity. Good luck

Incorrect. Hyundai factory alarms are not like aftermarket car alarms. They activate when they sense a voltage drop in the system, not when the car gets banged on. So... if you have a battery that's low on charge that will do it (I find this a lot in cars that have stereo systems), or if you have a parasitic draw on the battery while the car is off. You can research parasitic draw test on google and figure out how to check for it. A lot of times we find a bad light switch, like the switches for the doors, or the glove box, go bad and cause the alarm to get a little loopy.

If all else fails and you can't seem to figure it out, you might have yourself a bad ETACS module which isn't cheap but it snaps into the bottom of the drivers seat fuse box. It's the black box under the fuses. Before you go that route though, pay for the diagnosis at the dealer cuz if you buy one and install it and that's NOT it then you don't get to return the opened electrical parts you misdiagnosed.
